If it makes you feel better refs getting roasted for the blown calls and stupid penalties things will change after winter meetings where the competition committee will make changes

One can only hope.  The officiating has been questionable at best this season across the league.  But knowing the NFL, nothing will happen.

The refs didn't cost us that game.

Campbell going for it on 4th down several times and failing, is what lost it. Should've took the field goals and we wouldn't have needed a TD on the last drive. Better yet, why not trust the defense in overtime? They were playing well.

Blaming refs is for losers.

Oh yes, more stupid rule changes will completely fix this.

This game will either make a fan base very happy or very sour for a year.  It’s win or go home as the Texans and Colts clash with the winner heading to the postseason and the loser heading to the offseason.  Updates to come.

The Texans beat the Colts, 23-19.

The next 24-48 hours will be very telling.  Bill Belichick shared a moment with the Jets’ Aaron Rodgers as Belichick exited the field for what could be the final time as Patriots head coach and de facto general manager after a 17-3 loss.

Half of the playoff picture is filled in and it is full of familiar faces.  There will be several reunions in the NFC playoffs.  The Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy will meet the Packers on Jan. 14 in Arlington, Texas.  Matthew Stafford and the Rams will visit Jared Goff and the Lions on Jan. 14 in Detroit.  The Buccaneers will host the Eagles on Jan. 15 in Tampa, Fla.  The 49ers have a first-round bye.  This comes after the Cowboys beat the Commanders, 38-10; the Packers beat the Bears, 17-9; the Rams beat the 49ers, 21-20; the Lions beat the Vikings, 30-20; the Buccaneers beat the Panthers, 9-0; and the Eagles lost to the Giants, 27-10.

It is now past midnight after the final Sunday of the NFL season, meaning it is now Black Monday.  According to Adam Schefter, the Falcons fired head coach Arthur Smith after finishing with a 7-10 record this season following a 48-17 loss to the Saints.

I saw this coming from a mile away.  According to Adam Schefter, the Commanders fired head coach Ron Rivera after a 4-13 season.

Too bad the Saints are keeping Dennis Allen so they will waste yet another year in mediocre purgatory.

All summer, all I heard was the endless hype about them having the easiest schedule ever and how Carr was supposed to be some massive upgrade. 9-8 and no playoffs with the worst salary cap situation in the league. This team is OK with being just good enough to hover around 8-9 wins and considers that a success.

I am glad they aren't in the playoffs. They were having to rely on GB or Seattle to lose, which means they would've got a ticket to Dallas to get skullfucked by the Cowboys.

There goes another one.  According to Adam Schefter, the Titans fired head coach Mike Vrabel.

We’re coming up on the end of an era in Foxborough.  According to Adam Schefter and Mike Reiss, the Patriots and head coach and de facto general manager Bill Belichick are expected to part ways today after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles.
